Turkey Chili Muffins

As promised, I bring you Turkey Chili Muffins. They’re lean, clean, spiced, and best of all, adorable. What’s not to love? (Vegetarians, don’t answer that…)

Turkey Chili Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1.3 lbs 99% lean ground turkey**
  • 1 can navy beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeno, finely diced
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2/3 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup milk***
  • 1 tsp cumin, heaping
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. I suggest using your hands to get it thoroughly mixed.
  3. Divide the turkey mixture between the 12 muffin cups and bake for 35-40 minutes.
**Seriously, I did not make that up. Many grocery stores pre-package 1.3 lbs of lean turkey. I’m sure it would turn out fine if yours is a little off that measurement.
***I used unsweetened original almond milk. I’m sure skim milk or whatever else you’ve got is probably fine.

Get crazy with it. Add cheese. Serve with beer. Top with hot sauce. You know, the usual { chili } suspects. I think I might even make these again for the Super Bowl party we’re attending. I may not care much about NFL football, but I’m not one to turn down a party.

  10. Ooh yum I love chili flavours! I tried making turkey muffins once using another recipe and they were a major fail because they basically just called for meat and flavourings. I like that your contains more binding ingredients and oats for water absorption so that they’re more moist! They look awesome. :D
